The "Search" button is your friend

Put simply there is no exact mileage a car will need a rebuild at, afraid its not like that
Some cars last for 30k miles and some last for 100k, all depends on history/mods and how its been cared for

Generally when you buy an RX-7 most people would say keeping about £2.5/3k aside for such an event would be sensible

Mine just gave up agter 93k but I know someone else who gave up at 45k
